Read notes for details.
It's really frustrating not being able to list the films that weren't even nominated. But I guess otherwise this would simply be a list of every great film that never won an Oscar.
Imagine making one of the most important films of all time and losing out on Best Picture to a fucking Woody Allen film.
If you think Annie Hall was better than this unfollow me. I don't like you.
Generally you would expect the greatest film of all time to win Best Picture, but apparently not.
Best Actor specifically, but probably Best Picture and a lot of other major categories too.
Best Original Score - Thomas Newman
It should also have won Best Picture outright but it wasn't nominated because it's a ~kids movie~
Sidney Lumet successfully lobbied to have Akira Kurosawa nominated for Best Director, god bless him. The fact that he didn't win is objective proof that Academy voters didn't even watch this film.
And also, Best Cinematography. How do you nominate this for Best Cinematography and then not have it win? It makes no sense at all to me.
